Have you ever wanted to help the less fortunate but maybe don’t have the wherewithal or financial capacity to help others yourself?
If so, you need to listen to this episode.
This is a common occurrence, and unfortunately a tough reality in america.
How many times have you seen someone begging on a street corner and literally hundreds of cars driving by without any attention given?
Couple that with the fact that according to a 2021 study by the national law center on homelessness and poverty , nearly 25% of the homeless in america suffer from mental health issues, and it makes it almost understandable for the people driving by.
My guest tonight saw that need during his time walking back and forth to medical school, and he decided this was a problem that he could help fix.
Ken Kim is the creator of Crypto For The Homeless, a New Jersey based nonprofit that uses cryptocurrency to reimburse people that buy homeless and houseless people meals.
We discuss his reasoning for using crypto as a reimbursement, how the usage of crypto has served meals on a global platform, and how you can get involved for free.
Modern problems require modern solutions, misfits, so let’s get to solving.
Please welcome, Ken Kim.
